What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

Brief, non-graphic mentions of predators hunting prey as a reason for an animal's abilities.

Sensitive Topics

There are no sensitive topics in this book. It is a secular, straightforward presentation of scientific facts. The concept of predators and prey is implicit (e.g., why a cheetah is fast) but is never depicted graphically or in a scary way.

Ideal Reader

This book is for the 6- to 8-year-old fact-hound who loves to know the 'mostest' of everything. They are likely a child who enjoys spouting amazing trivia at the dinner table and is beginning to transition from picture books to nonfiction. It's also excellent for a reluctant reader who is more engaged by facts than by fiction.
